Segwit2x cancelled, BCH have given so many issues in BTC transactions though still free dollars so not a problem, Now comes Bitcoin silver!!

What we will expect for this new fork? Do we hope for a litecoin version of BTC? Will this have a chance to skyrocket? given the specs:

BTSI Comparison
Supply: 21 Million
PoW algorithm: Equihash
Mining Hardware: GPU
Block Interval: 30 sec
Block size (actual): 1M (2-4M)
Difficulty adjustment: Every block
Segwit: Yes
Replay protection: Yes
Unique address format: Yes

If it is true and if it has been already confirmed, then it is going to be a good situation to see bitcoin going up again, maybe we are going to see it going upto $10k because a lot of people will start to invest again in order to receive those bitcoin silvers for free.
but it is annoying, i dont know why they just picked bitcoin "silver" it is weird because we already have a silver version of bitcoin, and it is the Litecoin, and it has been on the market for more than years.
Anyway, lets see how it goes on December.

Is this for real? People were joking about bitcoin silver and Bitcoin bronze after the BTG fork, bit are we seriously getting a bitcoin silver. So many forks just destroys the main aim of the forks, it just creates a new altcoin with 'bitcoin' in its name. And IMO I don't think this is serious, even BTG was not serious enough, and 2x was canceled, don't think this fork will even happen.

It seems is for real, I read about that fork some time ago, to be honest I do not see anything new once again with his fork and the fact that most of the forum is not aware of this fork tells me that it is not going to have such a big impact, to me the biggest impact it is going to come from the fact that we are very close that institutional money enters in bitcoin and when that happens the price is going to the moon.

Shouldn't this be posted on the Altcoins section?

It may still happen though , It feels like the community is already tired and done with the mess and shitty activities behind BTG and BCH.
I'll speculate that this is going to be another pump and dump altcoin fork of Bitcoin, but not sure enough if it will skyrocket, it depends on the developers and their next step, if it will be messy like BTG mess then don't expect that this coin will be pumped.

I have no problem with receiving my share of free coins but then again I am wondering seriously: Have we not crossed the stage where a hard fork resulting into a new version of Bitcoin is already a big joke? And can we have a non-contentious fork instead just like what occurred in the last fork for Ethereum? A hard fork is a big manifestation that the community is not really united and that greed has been leading the way. We are all serious on Bitcoin and its future that's why we should not gamble it away by resorting into something that can have many repercussions on Bitcoin's stability and future.

Why do they do it? They want to kill bitcoin? Only aggravate with forks a situation!!! The trust to bitcoin falls every day. Now the price rose because of the fact that many have begun to buy up bitcoin to receive money from a fork. But, don't do it. Further it will bring only disappointment. Stop the greed!

Bitcoin silver looks like to the bitcoin gold. Why he don't create hard fork from bitcoin gold ?
I think my question confuse developers of BTS

There are still few information if this hard fork on December will happen and no one still confirming if this is true, but if this really happens this is a big joke, why? they just copied all the specs of Bitcoin Gold using Equihash proof-of-work algorithm the only difference between this and BTG is that the block interval of BTCS is 30 sec the only thing that makes it interesting. Developers of this project (whoever they are) surely wants to make huge profit from thin air. But the good thing is we can expect that it will help boost the price of Bitcoin by just dumping this forked cryptocurrency after the launch and buy more Bitcoin.

So many forks for the last several months. I'm wondering why it happens. Bitcoin transactions became so slow lately. Who does benefit from making forks?

Bitcoin gold which is GPU mine-able haven't got any attention till now and we can say it is a complete failure, this new one is almost same like bitcoin gold they aren't offering anything new and useful.

30 sec block interval  ::)

I am very upset that bitcoin will become useless soon. All these forka badly influence him. I don't understand, it is really difficult to buy bitcoin and to wait?

First Cash then Gold and now Silver? I think it will be good if we can improve bitcoin transaction slow rate in some way..

I have already seen too many jokes related to bitcoin forks but if it's true then price will surely rise again as lot's of people will come to bitcoins to claim their free coins. We may even see price will go up around $10000 if that's true.

Let the experiment. All the same, we can not do anything, but only while watching the process of periodic bifurcation of bitcoins. The market will put everything in its place. If bitcoin silver turns out to be without serious good improvements, it will be forgotten. However, only through various experiments can we get a normally working crypto currency.

We can expect this fork to be even more of a "non-event" than Bitcoin Gold. I think people have started to realize these are nothing but get rich quick attempts done by shady groups of people.

If you want a bitcoin version of litecoin, just use litecoin lol. No chance to skyrocket whatsoever. Bitcoin Gold did not succeed, and neither would Bitcoin Silver.

As long as this is profitable for some people <current BTC hoarders>, nobody will complain. The trend seems to be to develop a fork to get free coins and even to pre-mine it to get even more free coins. Why would someone who owns a few thousand coins, complain if their coins gets little puppies and they can sell that for a good profit?

At this stage the developers behind this project are not even identified yet, so nobody will trust it. It might even be Roger Ver or Jamie Dimon or some Bank that is doing this. A coin must be backed by people who can be trusted. ^hmmmm^

This is yet another non event. Is this even still going on? I read about it a few weeks ago. Treats of forks are getting tired for real. These devs need to get to work and do some real work.

Another fork is uncalled for. The point of a decentralized network is to reach consensus about participants. It weakens everybody. I don't agree because if you want a different coin, then launch one instead of taking advantage of bitcoin and forking it yet again. At the end the strongest community - Bitcoin - will thrive.

Really another bitcoin fork? And it's name is Bitcoin silver? Wow the naming this days gets worse and worse what be the next name of bitcoin if there will be another fork after bitcoin silver? Bitcoin bronze? As long as they aren't harming the community it is ok for me if this fork is true and please don't create more coins...

I can't help but to laugh like you thinking about another so called fork. This bitcoin silver for must be a joke or something. I personally have not seem anything about this fork. I think a speeding up of network transactions would benefit bitcoin.

maybe this one is the real and verry serious among the past forks and this time its not a joke because bitcoin silver is going to be a big threat to to other coins especially bitcoins. so if i were you, id better prepare for this one happen , i dont mean prepare to buy and hold bitcoins to get the equivalent free forked coins but rather prepare for what it can do to you and to the market.

2018 is going to be the year of the forks.
I expect this to accelerate and start happening on other coins too.

Nothing new and worth mentioning,just another altcoin who use BTC name, otherwise would go unnoticed.Only "good" thing is that users get some free coins with every new hard fork,but I wonder is it worth the confusion that creates among users.Personally I would not have anything against it in case they are not using "Bitcoin" for every new coin name.Regarding bitcoin silver,I not see any web site,wallet or some date of hard fork,a serious project?Of course not, I think some kid plays a little ;)

I knew this one was coming and i absolutely think that bitcoin will got to 10k by the end of this year because of the fork in December and i think bitcoin wants to close this good year with a good price too it started at 950 and it ended on 10k.

Does anyone have any info about this silver fork story?
Is it legit? Website?

I guess they are not happy with BITCOIN, so they wanted to upgrade it a little bit of it aspects like transactions speed.
Who benefit? Those whales benefits isnt it? Also us traders coz its free coin. We need to go with flow of water otherwise your not going to rich fast. lolz
These seems to be a strategy too or perhaps we are still in low level of cryptoworld (If you know what i meant.)

Moreover, the drama will be made, after Bitcoin Cash, gold and silver now, trying to make free coins into Bitcoin competitors and why in the future always use the name Bitcoin.
and why not wear the name of a silver or gold coin,
Let Bitcoin be yourself if you want to compete using another name does not have a Bitcoin name..

But it is about bitcoin being forked so it is still about bitcoin. There will be another altcoin forked out of bitcoin this upcoming month, and I think there will be another thread of bitcoin being dead and other altcoin forked out of bitcoin will be reigning over.

I don't like these frequent forks. They are too frequent that it is really difficult to predict market movements since usually BTC price will go up when a fork is nearby and eventually causing all alts to bleed  >:(

But to be realistic, people who holds bitcoin always expect this, they can make free money from all these forked coins airdrop by just holding bitcoin, even the hype of segwit2x
make the bitcoin price pumped, they already know these coins can't compete with the real bitcoin but still it's free money isn't it?

Anyone knows the difference between Bitcoin Gold vs Silver. For instance, do both have replay protection, similiar blocksize? In that case you really wonder what's the point of another fork that will only tank after a few days like Gold or Cash...

But there is litecoin a version of bitcoin that I have viewed as silver all this time since it's inception.

Bitcoin is equal to gold

Litecoin is equal thus viewed as silver.

This is how viewed these cryptocurrencies.

While i might tend to agree with you on your view there has to be a limit. The fact that this is just " another bitcoin wanna be " like you said does not make it any less confusing to " mainstream society ". Remember most of the top bankers are old fat cats set in their ways. They will surely use news like this to cry bubble or tulip mania.

Fork, fork, fork, fork again and a fucking fork. When will it end these fucking rigid forks.

So if we have our coins in Blockchain.info, we will be getting this new coin as airdrop? The last time I got BCH as free airdrop around 2 months after the fork.

I'm still wondering! that hardfork is the most effective promotional tool to raise Bitcoin. I do not know exactly who these people are behind the hardfork, but it makes positive news and profitable.

I think this fork will result in bitcoin price bump,most people will invest on bitcoin to receive this free coin so the demand for the bitcoin will increase which results in price increase of bitcoin.
But bitcoin silver will also be same as the bitcoin gold initially makes price bump then the price might fall.So investing on this coin is not advisable because many people invested on bitcoin gold now suffering due to its price drop.So take a look on this coin after launched then decide to invest or not after some months.

I'm not too worried about what will happen in December, I already believe in Bitcoin and do not want to panic selling all my Bitcoin, if that's going to happen I'll just enjoy the free coins ;D

I am excited, not for Bitcoin Silver but for another Bitcoin price pump soon in the future. There is nothing much interesting in these new alts like Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Silver which can compel us to buy them everything is as like before, BTW the best thing is we are going to get some extra money through these forks and alts.

Hahaha ...
Every week new fork.
So, grandpha Bitcoin will rise to $1M @ coin! Cool!  ;D
Maybe all the forks are inspired by exchanges?
They always want more volume and earn more....

Regarding Silver Fork, would this result to BTC getting pumped or dumped? Sorry, i'm new. I saw back during Bitcoin Gold, the price of Bitcoin went ravishingly down and then was able to get back up since BTC Gold was a fail.

If bitcoin silver will continue to be introduce I guess we will expecting another pump and dump in bitcoin price this December. I thought that for this year $7700 will be a stable value for bitcoin up the end of 2017 but since bitcoin silver will be coming we can anticipate more fluctuations again well just in case it's a good opportunity to invest again .

Well, as expected with its name after bitcoin gold. Next will be bitcoin copper for sure since bitcoin bronze already exists here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2378769.0. Nothing new with this fork, they just want to make a lot of money instead of helping the community and the network, which is the real essence of the fork. Screws those greedy people!

Do we really need one fork a month? It is going to be a norm and no one is going to care about it. It is alright with me, since I will be getting plenty of fork coins just by holding my BTC.

People who horde large amounts of Bitcoin are making huge amounts of profit and selling it off for even more Bitcoin for the next fork. Is this what will happen during each fork? A new currency will be released to btc holders? It's interesting and I guess the new way to handle airdrops or bounties yet it rewards those who are faithful to Bitcoin. I don't know if it's good or bad but it's interesting.

When will they stop with the forks!!

There is nothing to worry because if it is true it will be just like bitcoin gold and i hope it has the same principles too to make bitcoin mining decentralized through GPU mining rather than big expensive machines and wastage of energy,there wont any panic selling after the fork and it wont affect the price of bitcoin in anyway.

thank you for the impormation mate for this another fork issue for bitcoin community but being a user and bitcoin fanatic bitcoin have many trials faces any kind of problem bitcoin still ontop after all the problem i'm not worrying on that issue waiting to the decision result what is the effect this incoming fork as you said.

I am tired to see the BTC keep on forking, it destroy the market balance and causing instability, I don't see why Bitcoin need to keep on forking, in the end people will still choose Bitcoin over the forking coin, but let's see how enthusiasm of the investors, at least we will get a free coin

You cannot be so sure about this because despite the cancellation of B2x, bitcoin gold still went and  launched and we are still wait in for what it's going to add to the space which I am yet to see though even with BCH. The fact is the moment BCH was done, I knew it HSS opened up opportunities for others to follow and there is nothing anyone could do about it. The moment you discover something wrong with the original bitcoin, the next is a fork and when the fork version does not meet a particular need, we move on to another fork and the cycle continues. Its really a joke.

Forks made in Bitcoin this year to lived  more stress to us. It would be good if they had a long break. Now Bitcoin Silver Fork is appeared. It's still disturbing. My consolation ,  Bitcoin is showing off  the power after every fork and turning more solidly into the market.

Segwit2x was "cancelled" by its biggest proponents, but it'll still be interesting to see what happens at Block height 484,784. For one thing, the forking client is already released in the wild and has been for some time. So the fork will occur, the question is, will anyone notice? Will any miners mine a block on the fork? I'm curious to see if Jihan Wu plays games with the hash rate in order to foment a split between BTC and B2X. That seems like a really risky gamble for Bitmain, though.


My expectations are incredibly low. The parameters look exactly like Bitcoin Gold, which was similarly disappointing. At least Bitcoin Silver will take us one step closer towards the death of all these crappy forks. :)

So when is this fork to arrive?  Any exchange site to buy this? It seems that forking is a part of whale's Bitcoin price pump and dump price manipulation plan. People tend to buy Bitcoin in hope of getting a forked coin. Hope this one will not be cancelled just like BTG

They havent yet released the final date of this fork, but you can already start pumping your btc.  ;D

Since there is already a buzz or some information spoiler then most likely this situation do might happen on bigger chances.I have read also about those people who do talk about the ranking when it comes to value Gold,Silver and Bronze which it turns out to be a joke recently when they saw up Bitcoin gold but now they are already into it. I would say that forks isnt really needed at all when it comes to development but i would rather be thankful because every fork bitcoins price do hit up a new ATH.

Another crap altcoin trying to use Bitcoin name to make money...

i think this fork will be canceled too

If you look at the thread on Bitcoin Silver, the topic creator hasn't been replying much.

I'm pretty sure this is a troll.

No more forks. I just got an email from gdax that some people will try to go through with segwit2x. Get ready for another dip in price.

Beats me to it! That's definitely what's gonna happen, btc price surging because of this another fork. Then what's next? Are they going to cancel the fork again and make btc crash? You're right, these forks are tiring and it seems to me that they are just manipulating the price of btc by doing those forks. Instead of making a better version, what they really have in mind is greed and it should really stop unless they can prove that their project will have a better outcome.

Segwit2x is happening now, Nov 17, Coinbase will disable sending / buying BTC. Check your email if you in coinbase subscription list,.

Really, it's cancelled and already announced how can coin base do fork ? weird.
disable not makes that exchange run a hard fork.

What you really can do is to ride with them. This is the game of bitcoins, take advantage on whats happening, do your buy /sell  , collect the free coins. Because soon there would only be one King and that is Litecoin lolz.

I think Bitcoin Silver will experience the same failure as BTC2X, it proves that nothing can replace Bitcoin.

You know the drill if ever there is another bitcoin fork. Price of bitcoin will go up again, altcoins will bleed again. It is a good opportunity to buy your favorite alts. Bitcoin holders will have more free coins and then sold it again for the true bitcoin. It seems that the forking is never ending. Before the actual fork, bitcoin price will surge and then altcoins will have a temporary party before bleeding again. In times when bitcoin is having a major update or move then altcoins are more affected and it is only during the times bitcoin is having a stable price when altcoins are able to make their move.

It is confusing. I checked the YoBit exchange and they are still permitting YOB2X / BTC trading. I even got free YOB2X coins a few days back (I dumped them immediately). And check this:

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/segwit2x/

Coinmarket cap is still showing that SegWit2x [Futures] is active, with a price of $350 per coin.

people which have bitcoin balance in yobit is getting free YOB2X and i see a lot of people is trying to dump the price and selling their yob2x to make profit.
but for bitcoin silver, i am not sure that the fork will be apply and maybe it will affect with bitcoin price in this month. and if there is another dip in price, i think we can be prepare if the price is down but i am hoping that there is a panic selling if the price is down too far.

This forks isnt making any sense, the big holders keep growing their capital since they can dump as well collect more of those forked coins and manipulate the market later, something bcc has made these days, and it were more profitable then bitcoin, these forks has becamed airdrops, and well the developers are making easy money and looks like we will get all months a new fork...its insane i had thinked we were mooved away already.

You think too much... Basically, no one care about replacing Bitcoin, it is just to grow some big bitcoin holder's wealth and increase the pricing of these fork.

Similar to what other users have said, it looks to me like the chances of this fork happening is actually pretty low.

Is this a joke? Again a new Fork? Whats the problem with these guys who fork BTC? Are they trying to destroy Bitcoin and the community? I really hope they cancel this and for the future there will be no more forks on Bitcoin!

I can assume that all these news are speculative manipulations again. Bitcoin will grow, thats fo sure. But when this 'Forks time' will end?

Seems so. There is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding this fork, and the guys behind this are not very active lately. Perhaps they were forced to change their plans after the cancellation of the SegWit2X fork. But if it happens, then I will be happy. More free coins for me. Bitcoin clones are better than altcoins.

far out bro

hope this hardfork will not create any noise in mass media cause the creator does not seem to be a reliable developer

these are going to be "joke-forks" when random idiots start creating different versions of the same thing just like how they did with thousands of altcoins. it is a very simple process of copy pasting code, but the idiots think if they copy bitcoin they can become rich!

we should get ready for a wave of 1 satoshi worth forks in the near future and all of it is thanks to bitcoin cash because before that fork nobody even thought about doing something like this.

we can at least be sure that soon all of this will fade away just like how shitcoins did.

Reserving the name "bitcoin copper" for future usage, I will decide when it is a good time to fork to get the maximum amount of attention/fud/fomo and get a good profit from it!

Get ready for "BitCoin Copper"(tm) peepz!

I always consider them as free airdrop coins and nothing more than that. Within the coming months, there will be many more coins like so popping up with the name "Bitcoin" attached to it for gaining traction.
If you think them to be the next big thing then you are an idiot and are doing their devs a favor by giving them the platform to dump their stashes at a high rate.

Oh men another one, I can see where it will go again like bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold it will all be a failure. Again it will all just a free money for bitcoin users and a big mistake to those who will invest. Does anyone really care about forking other than its free money, nope. It is all about this and that, promise this and that, it will replace bitcoin and the funniest of all is they hope for a miracle. Isn’t is degrading that after a Gold it’s silver that’s better to called diamond 💎 for a catchy name.

 ;D it will be bitcoin bronze lolz no matter the name is, its free!  ;D

Ohh come on, when does this hard fork drama ends? I'm tired of another and another hard fork because it's quite predictable if the majority of cryptocurrency users is looking at the hard fork then altcoin market will dip and Bitcoin will rise in price, I'm tired of this. Just stop this drama already.

If indeed this will happen in December I will just enjoy a free coin and return to believe in Bitcoin, I do not want to be tempted with another coin, I believe in Bitcoin and do not want to with another coin.

I don't Agree because if u want a different coin, then launch one instead of taking advantage of bitcoin.
I'm personally have not seem anything about this fork.
and i would agree if we had more hardforks more like bitcoin cash.and there is nothing much interesting in these new alts like bitcoin gold and bitcoin silver.

Also the more forks there are the less money there is going to be to pump those coins, so while those people cresting all these useless forks are trying to make money in the market the truth is the more forks that are created the less successful each subsequently fork is going to be, and not only that the community is going to stop supporting them even if the fork it was planned was a legitimate attempt to make some improvements to the source code of bitcoin.

Wow that's amazing. Forks after forks. But hey I'm not complaining.

Bitcoin Wood when?  ::)

bitcoin Cu,btc Fe,btc wood,btc paper then btc shit :P

Really? Another fork? Every other week there is another bitcoin fork, that is certainly not doing good to the space in my opinion. But maybe thats just me.

Did you see all of the various new Eth coins that have popped up since Bitcoin Gold?  Ethereum- Red, X, Gold, Prime, Dash, Komodo, Nano Tech, Star, Flow and so on ad nauseum.  Of course there is going to be a Bitcoin Silver, just like there is going to be a Bitcoin Black, Bitcoin White, Bitcoin Premium,  Bitcoin Sapphire, Bitcoin Uran and more.

Haha, that is for real. Who need these forks? Only their developers who want to get rich in a few days using pre-mine? Or guys like Roger Ver who have a lot of BTC and can make real profits not just 1 BTC silver or whatever.

Is this another sort of hardfork plan that's about to cancel again? Well, if this will be a successful one, this coin from Bitcoin's DNA may somehow surpass BCH's resume.

I hearing about it for the first time and unlike bitcoincash and segwit2x it seem to be a simple coin fork that has nothing much to do with bitcoin community. Everyone can fork bitcoin but it's hard to fork the bitcoin community.

There's a lot of bitcoin fork happening and though they are claiming that they can solve bitcoin's problem with faster transaction and lesser fees, the original bitcoin is still the outstanding one and these forks are just altcoins because there is only one bitcoin. They just want to have a share of the pie that's why they have these forks and then those newbies in the crypto world would end up being confuse because of the many bitcoin they can encounter. Litecoin is a fork of bitcoin as well and it is the bitcoin silver so it is redundant to create another one.

Besides bitcoin silver, there are other bitcoin forks planned as well.

Dec 17, 2017 - Super Bitcoin (#SBTC)
Jan 2, 2018 - Bitcoin Cash Plus (#BCP)
Jan 28, 2018 - B2X reattempt by the community (#B2X)

i dont know what would that bitcoin silver can give to bitcoin
But for now even without that new alts
 Bitcoin has almost hitting $10,000 it reaches $9,600 so in a few
Weeks it may became $10,00.

What im telling here is we dont need another fork after what happens
To that segwit2x cancelation and that bitcoin cash controversy
I think people have kearn enough not to just trust this all BITCOIN clones

Now we have seen the rise of bitcoins, This is because of the approaching Hardfork that will further improve the state of bitcoins. I'm sure that after hardfork the bitcoins could have fallen slightly. And in litecoins we do not know what's happening here litecoins are also hardfits because it will be a way to skyrocket the price of the LTC

In my opinion, in occasion of a fork with a compartment from bitcoin bitcoin, silver was just a joke after we got bitcoin gold. In the middle of December, we are predicted to have a fork with the formation of some kind of super-bottle. What will it specifically be, as long as there is no information. Apparently, the original bitcoin also grows in price, taking into account the forthcoming plug and the formation of its next free clone.

I'm not too worried about this and I know there will be many new bitcoin releases in the future especially in the next year. I think the price will be like bitcoin gold, bitcoin cash because for me, every new bitcoin release, I consider that coin is part of altcoin and we can try to make a profit. but the best thing here is we can get free coins from the fork. and if in december the fork will make bitcoin silver come out then we can prepare to receive another free coin like before.

I wonder why there is always such a hardfork if bitcoin is really stable for a long long time. Does the alt coins that came from bitcoin's blueprint do a significant function of which bitcoin does not? I would really be glad if this upcoming bitcoin silver hardfork will show to us why a hardfork is really needed in the side of bitcoin.

BTC has too many bifurcations, one BCH one BTG and one BCD. Now split a BIG? What is the case, bifurcation of the BTC really okay? It's not yet necessary to see the need for such a fork, for the entire BTC community 2017 is too messy, who is really BTC? I can not tell, but the price of BTC at the very beginning shows everything. Only continue to hold BTC, will get the maximum benefit.

2017 is messy for bitcoin! All sort of fork! The major fork however has been successful despite outrage and dislike! Forking the bitcoin has been  a blessing after all. It has create environment that push bitcoin price in positive direction. Any fork coming out does not bother me anymore!

Got to say, I agree 100 % with the opinions stated above ^^^. Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Silver, Bitcoin bronze. There's no point to all these. Bitcoin Cash actually had a reason to exist and might actually take down BTC. These other coins are just greedy people trying to make some dough

I don't get the concept of forks anyways. Isn't that like the FedReserve bank just printing more and more and more money?

I think bitcoin really does not need a fork in December. Current bitcoins are stable after 2x segwit stops. There is no reason to continue Fork bitcoin in the present moment. I think it will also fail like segwit.

For me nothing special because I will still love Bitcoin though had to expect another free money hope to have Bitcoins on my wallet before the fork. ;D I think there would be another all time high happening during that time and same as usual Alts will bleed to death again. Yes of course it has the chance to skyrocket just like other coins on the market. For me forks are only forks it may affect Bitcoin a little something like a confusion on the community but that will never bring Bitcoin down as a deadly threat to the market I mean FUD is more deadly than hard forks.

Forks are being misused by the developers,people now thinks forks are used to create another altcoin that is named after the main coin which is bitcoin.

all this fork confusing for new comer, and now i think everybody can make his own bitcoin fork lets see in few month is there will be bitcoin coal, stone, bronze etc

Can't be bothered with all that crap with something "Bitcoin" in their name coming out. The 2 major events are done, that was Bitcoin Cash and Segwit2x, the latter a none event. I've dumped the Gold crap and I could not care less for any more shitcoins coming out to make fast money.

Bitcoin forks are the new ICOs, meaning scams. Easy money out of not even thin, but no air.

Exactly but people really can't even accept the fact bitcoin is not decentralised, anonymous and nothing it claims to be, block chain will face some trouble in ,2018 simply because it is time for it to truly show what is capable instead of all these promises and unproven bullshit it has given over the years. If it's really our2.0 version of our  financial system it better be implemented accordingly and shit has to start moving on it not just being stated as a possibility for the future. People think Alts piggyback ride bitcoin but what about bitcoin piggyback riding blockchain?

How many forks are going to go? This is sick for the economy. Like it's just another btc without any use case. We need to think this through.

Apparently, no forks in December this year with the formation bitkoyn silver will not. Probably, it was still a joke after fork bitcoin gold. There was information that in the middle of December there will be another fork with the formation of some
 superbitoid. No specific information about this superbit was received.

I got an airdrop name bitcoin silver, is it the same airdrop you are talking about.

If true and if it is ascertained, then it would be a good situation to see the bitcoin increase and many people will start investing again in to receive the bitcoin silver for free.
But that's confusing, I do not know why they chose the "silver" bitcoin that's weird because we already have a kind of silver bitcoin
However, let's see how he made his decision in December.

I tend to blame bitcoin gold rather than bitcoin cash, bitcoin cash is a project that has a different vision than the devs about bitcoin and we must respect that even if we do not agree, but bitcoin gold was a joke and now everyone is realizing they are making a lot of money and have decided to join the party and are trying to become rich as well by making all those forks.

Totally agree. This will just be another alt trading on the name of bitcoin. They are getting more and more ridiculous. Seems like there is a new fork everyday, and no valid reason for the fork either, just a money grab.

everyone must have his own fork.
it is easy to do, just copy-past the code.. ;D

Ah not this bull shit again. Clearly people are only confusing bitcoin with the various alts having bitcoin as it's predecessor for example, bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, now bitcoin silver. Especially new comers are finding it difficult to figure these things out and understanding the concept of bitcoin and these forks will be a difficult task for them. There were not rumors on bitcoin diamond or some sort of thing after the suspension of the November fork. Sad thing is no matter how many number of forks take place they aren't helping much to improve the standards in the community and is leading to absolute scam in some places and hell these codes are copy paste, so better not get involved much in this .

I bought some today it's so cheap and if everybody know the price no one would buy btc to get this for free

Like many of the forks, this fork is not needed and it does not bring anything new or that bitcoin cannot do, so like most current forks this seems like nothing more than a money grab by some people trying to become millionaires using marketing skills rather than their own skills as programmers and coders, but this forks is going to have the same fate as many icos, it is going to disappear.

Is there any site? When will the fork happen?
